Arboricultural Training
Advice for Tree Managers
Arboriculture is a constantly developing field where practitioners
and consultants need to be conversant with new developments
to ensure best practice.
In a litigious society, tree owners and those who advise on trees need to ensure that they fulfil obligations for duty of care. Arborists need to be fully aware that an understanding the habitat value of trees is fundamental to responsible tree management.
